Comparing 4 Types of Light Up Bands, "Docooler " #1

I reviewed the four types of light strips sold here at Revain, here are the results with photos: I found "Docooler" to be the best in terms of brightness, duration and value. However, JVCC was the worst. All bands glowed for at least 6 hours, but the intensity of the glow at 6 hours varied widely. I have photos right after the lights go out, 10 minutes later and 20 minutes later. I'll post a "6 o'clock" photo later, but someone turned on the light before I woke up and put the tapes in, so I can't give you an exact photo now. (6 HOUR UPDATE): All test patterns glowed after six hours in relative darkness. However, my camera is not sensitive enough to capture an image of the glow. However, the glow can be seen with the naked eye. The relative strength of the six hour glow is about the same as in the photo "20 minutes later". Although the glow is of course less than the "20 Minutes" photo, in total darkness all the tapes are visible.) "JVCC" can be found here: JVCC GLW Glow in the Dark Tape: 1/2" x 30 feet ( luminescent lime green): COST: $10.63 per 30 feet (as of March 2016); LIGHT RANK (scale 1 to 4, 1 to best, and 4 worst): 4 = Worst burn time, worst brightness; ADHESIVE: It slipped initially off some of the steps where the varnish was applied but if left for a while it will stick Not the best adhesive out of the four tested CONCLUSIONS: This tape glows for at least 6 hours (like all tapes tested) but the 6 hour glow is very faint and can only be seen in total darkness, which is enough if you're in total darkness.This tape cost the most of the tapes tested but performed the worst.However, it works. After ordering it took approx 8 days until I got the tape. Find "DOCOOLERโ€ here: Docooler Glow in the Dark Tape Premium Bright Green Warning Label Sticker Sheet Film 3"*8"ยก: COST: $3.98 for 3.5ft (as of March 2016); LIGHT RANK (scale from 1 to 4): 1 = best burn time, best brightness; ADHESIVE: The adhesive is very strong. CONCLUSIONS: This tape is cut to fit a large US dollar bill. He was the BEST in brightness. In fact, it was possible to read under its light, almost like the glow of a smartphone. The tape was the thickest of the four and worked well for any emergency use. It had the longest burn time and the brightest duration. I liked this option the most, and at the cost it is the most budgetary. The tape reached me about 2 weeks after ordering. "URPARCEL" can be found here: Urparcel Luminous Tape Glow In The Dark Stage Home Decoration 10mm: COST: $3.97 for 30 feet (as of March 2016); LIGHT RANKING (scale from 1 to 4): 3 = average burn time; ADHESIVE: The adhesive is very strong. CONCLUSIONS: The ribbon is thin in width and thickness, almost like a film. However, it glows better than JVCC, so if you need more length, you're better off for cost reasons. Please note that this product is shipped from China and took almost a month to reach me after ordering. Find KING here: KING DO WAY PET Tape Adhesive Signal Strip Glow in the Dark Home Office Party Stage Switch Decoration 12mm x 3m: COST: $3.69 per 10ft (as of March 2016) ; LIGHT RANK (scale from 1 to 4): 2 = good burn time; ADHESIVE: The adhesive is very strong. CONCLUSIONS: This tape is thin but wider than URPACEL. KING and UPARCEL appear to be from the same company, but the KING "brand" shone brighter. The tape got to me about three weeks after I ordered it.
